I am able to run the mvn command via the command line directly against the
workspace on the remote node. Note, that the project build fine against the
master hudson node. Here is the maven command call:

java -cp
/var/hudson/war/WEB-INF/lib/maven-agent-1.288.jar:/opt/maven/boot/classworlds-1.1.jar
hudson.maven.agent.Main /opt/maven
/var/hudson/war/WEB-INF/lib/remoting-1.288.jar
/var/hudson/war/WEB-INF/lib/maven-interceptor-1.288.jar 34409

channel started

Executing Maven: -B -B -f
/var/hudson/jobs/java_projects/workspace/trunk/pom.xml clean install
-Dbuild.version=337

It appear like the remoting jar is not being sent to the remote node (although
I'm unsure if this is the real cause).
